Dosais (Dosa)

Making Dosais (dosas)

Dosai is a popular South Indian dish, a fine pancake made of rice and dals of various kinds. It is a protein rich dish as it has urad dal alongwith rice in the batter.
(Note: I use the same batter for all dosai-masala and sada, besides idlis and uthappams.)

Instructions to make dosais

• Prepare the dosai mavu ( https://radhascooking.blogspot.com/2019/09/idli-and-dosa-batter.html).
• Allow the batter to ferment overnight and then use the mavu.
• Stir well and check the consistency. Add a little water if necessary. It should be thinner than the idli mavu, so that it can be easily poured on to the tava. 

Pour a ladle of mavu in the centre and spread

• Heat the tava until it is hot.
• Pour a ladle of mavu in the centre of the tava and slowly spread the mavu in concentric circles till the edges of the tava.
• Drizzle the dosai with a mixture of ghee and oil and cook on a medium flame till golden brown and the edges begin to rise up from the tava.

• Flip the dosai round and baste with oil round the dosai.
• Serve the dosai with chutney and sambar.

Turn the dosa round when golden brown
